Are valve caps universal?

Valve caps are not necessarily universal. While many valve caps are designed to fit standard valve stems, there are different types of valve stems that require specific types of valve caps. For example, some valve stems have a larger diameter than others and require a cap with a wider thread pattern to fit properly. Additionally, some valve stems may have unique shapes or configurations that require specialized valve caps.

It’s important to choose the correct valve cap for your specific tire and valve stem to ensure proper fit and seal. Refer to your vehicle or tire owner’s manual or consult a professional mechanic or tire technician if you’re unsure which type of valve stem your tire has or which type of valve cap to use.
